To demand the portrait that will be a complete portrait of a person is as futile as to demand that a motion picture be condensed into a single still.

All I want is to preserve that wonderful something which so purely exists between us.

Several people feel I have photographed God. May be.

As a matter of fact, nearly all the greatest work is being, and has always been done, by those who are following photography for the love of it, and not merely for financial reasons. As the name implies, an amateur is one who works for love.

There is nothing so wrong as accepting a thing merely because men who have done things say it should be so.

There are many schools of painting. Why should there not be many schools of photographic art? There is hardly a right and a wrong in these matters, but there is truth, and that should form the basis of all works of art.

The fight for photography became my life.
